Dwight Smith is awesome? Who knew? ME that's who. Why we trying to trade this dude? Don't be a fool coach Payton. Poor Donte. I still have faith in him, but get your head on right kid. Sully starting? Ugh. But at least we have good LBs now. Many of us have said Colby would not start on most teams in the league, and now he is not starting on this one.

I hope no one got confused...when i told you that i saw Thomas and Sullivan playing side by side, it was with the 3rd team defense...and Colby is no longer playing MLB, he is playing his natural position...on the 3rd team.

Payton has been public in his criticism of last year's play at LB...he said they werent very good, he said they looked bad on tape, and it looks like all the LB's that played here last year wont be playing here this year. Allen, Watson, McKinnon, Slaughter, Hodge...Bockwoldt? I like the way he is taking this team over.

Aaaaaayyyyyy!!

Nah, just saying that's who I'd like to see starting for us. Whitehead and Young are the first teamers right now... it was pretty clear.

It's still just minicamp... a lot of things can and are still going to happen prior to the season. Everything is far from set in stone. I do like Payton taking control of everything... it's nice having a plan for once.

... I'm all for putting the best player out there, and I am sure that Payton is going to start the best LBs once the season comes around. While I am not really "rooting for Colby", I think that at this juncture what Payton is doing is trying to figure out what he's got, so he's going to give everyone a chance to prove what they can do, and that's why it seems everyone is being given a shot at MLB. I don't doubt that Fujita is going to start, and most probably Simmons, yet Payton still has to figure out who's the best LB at which position and situation (run play, pass play).

... we'll see who sits on the 3rd game of the preseason

Thanks for posting the news..
It might take Horn a little time to figure out that not all QB's throw knee high passes..

Stallworth leaving this team one way or another seems to be a forgone conclusion. They were trying to trade him before the draft and he's still not getting along with Payton. I say lets get something for him now.
